    Selfish Machines

This is my own interpretation of the song. I have changed the key slightly, mainly
because I enjoy how it sounds more in this key, but if you want to play it in the same
key of
the original song, change the F# and C# chords into C and F, and you should be good to
go. Also, listen to the song to get the strumming right, but you can be original and think
of your own strumming pattern if you think you like another way better. Remember, you
don't have to 100% cover a song, it can be personalized. I sadly could not find another,
more comfortable, way for you to play the outro. It's fairly easy, I just wish there was 
a different way to play it. I also made it into standard tuning for those of you, like me,
who don't wish to change the tuning of their acoustic every time you play a new song. No
capo needed.
